We stole one tonight. Great win!

We didn’t play our best for the first 30 minutes, but turned it on the last 10 minutes of the game. Joseph was a great steadying influence, and pack is an assassin.

Love Omir’s game. He’s a dog every time that he steps out on the court.

Wong and Miller were careless and lazy with the ball tonight with some bad turnovers, and it almost cost us. Overall a good effort once again. Love that this team doesn’t give up.

Our only loss this season was to Maryland, which I think at this moment is a better team, so that wasn’t a bad loss in my book.

Looking forward to seeing this team gel even more.

Larranaga has these dudes playing with effort every night. What a difference from the football squad.

Definitely a refreshing difference from the fball team for sure

By the way, love the "Honored Numbers" program this year. Note the little patch on Pack's jersey. People forget that Rick Barry is a 'Cane, good opportunity to discuss that we have some tradition, not much, but some.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Wong had some really good moments and really bad ones. He needs to be more consistent to lead us. Pack came up huge after not being able to buy a bucket. Nacho did his thing. Miller had a solid game aside from a couple late turnovers. Joseph was incredible off the bench.

Fun team to watch let’s get on a roll leading up to Virginia in a couple weeks. Nice crowd too. Keep giving them a reason to come back.

 

[NSHCane]

Joseph needs more playing time, even if we're sacrificing height. His defense and ability to get steals makes up for that.

 

[scane]

I wish how well Bensley played down the stretch was the type of the thing that stands out in a box score

 

[Gables Canes]

Size is hurting us again. I don’t know if the answer is Casey but UM can’t go thru an entire season with 6’7” Omier as the tallest player for 90% of the game.
We have a lot of skill and speed but Omier will be worn out at this rate.

Casey is slowly getting more minutes. He looks super tentative on offense but he’s playing solid D. Hopefully by January he can contribute more.

 

[Miami04]

L needs to get Watson and Aire more time. Walker is unplayable so you have to rely on 2 or 3 freshmen.

Did Walker play tonight?

It’s a shame he hasn’t improved at all

Came in for like 2 seconds in the first half, dribble the ball out of bounds absolutely for no reason, and got planted on the bench for the rest of the night.

We did have some careless turnovers, but Rutgers is also 2nd in the country in steals.

Played a little in the first then L pulled him after he dribbled off his leg

 

[Stan The Bat]

Walker is a non stop comedy of errors. Dude should never see the floor.

Joseph needs to be on the floor.

He did and he looked atrocious. He has regressed.

That makes sense. Those boys take active hands to a whole new level. Impressed with them honestly. They played hard as ****

 

[AtlAtty]

That was a good win against a good team that should make the NCAA tourney. Rutgers plays really good defense but thankfully we have smart players and a coach who always gets his team good shots.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

We did have some careless turnovers, but Rutgers is also 2nd in the country in steals.

13 turnovers. Miller had a couple bad ones, Beverly threw one out of bounds, Wong had a couple bad ones, Walker dribbled off his leg.

 

[canesfan54]

I’m late but shoutout to Pack he stepped up when it mattered most

 

[Gables Canes]

First game this season where the refs didn’t **** us over. They let both teams basically maul each other. We didn’t get calls, but the opponent didn’t either.

 

[canesfan54]

We also kept Spencer to probably his worst performance so far if I had to guess

 

[CaneTheGaytors]

13 turnovers. Miller had a couple bad ones, Beverly threw one out of bounds, Wong had a couple bad ones, Walker dribbled off his leg.

Yep. Rutgers is a good defensive squad, but the majority of our turnovers tonight were just on careless plays. Need to shore that up. That late rebound that Miller got and then carelessly tried to pass it with a guy right behind him was not smart. He also needs to have Omir and Beverly (which were in front and beside him) help him out in that situation by yelling “man”, so he knows he’s got a dude lurking behind him for the steal.

First game this season where the refs didn’t **** us over. They let both teams basically maul each other. We didn’t get calls, but the opponent didn’t either.

Agreed. I was thinking the same thing. They let both teams play instead of calling a bunch of phantom fouls on us.

The one bad call tonight was on the late defensive rebound by Omir were he got mugged and the refs called a jump ball. Coach L was not happy, and rightfully so.
